Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/john-chowning-/capsula John Chowning shares the experience of being a pioneer in a discipline at a time when using computers to generate music was a leap into the void between creative eccentricity and scientific adventure. *2- SON[I]A #213. Ignacio Uriarte* (in Spanish) Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/es/sonia/ignacio-uriarte/capsula Ignacio Uriarte habla de su rutina cotidiana como artista, de la desaparición de la oficina física, de la pervivencia de su imaginario y de la procrastinación y el sobrecumplimiento de las normas como formas de resistencia ante la imposición de la eficiencia y la productividad. *3- PROBES #14.

Curated by Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore* Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/composingwithprocess_tag <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/composingwithprocess_tag> COMPOSING WITH PROCESS <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/composingwithprocess_tag> is a series, curated by *Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore*, which explores generative approaches to composition and performance primarily in the context of experimental technologies and music practices of the latter part of the 20th Century.

Curated by Joe Gilmore and Rhiannon Silver Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/specials/fluxradio_joe_gilmore_rhiannon_silver/capsula "FluxRadio" explores some of the concepts and ideas behind the music and performance pratice of Fluxus.

Nanna Thylstrup. Feat. exclusive music by TCF Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/nanna-thysltrup/capsula Nanna Thylstrup talks about the digitalisation of the archive and its implications. She deeply analyses two consequences that both emerge in individual and collective spheres: first, the data shadow that big data contexts generates to each user; second, the politics behind the processes of mass digitalisation. *2- OBJECTHOOD #3,* featuring an interview with Martin Holbraad and sound essay by Quim Pujol. By Roc Jiménez de Cisneros Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/specials/objecthood3-martin-holbraad-quim-pujol/capsula Text: http://rwm.macba.cat/uploads/20150505/Objecthood_3_en.pdf This podcast is about objects, but more importantly, it is about some of the recent theories that offer new conceptualisations of objects in contemporary philosophy and art. In the previous episode, Florian Hecker and Erick Beltrán talked about zombies, vampires and chimeras. This third installment of the series delves into those ideas, under a completely different light, as anthropologist Martin Holbraad and artist and curator Quim Pujol discuss monsters, otherness, hybrids, agency and fetish.
